I remember using lots of spreadsheets when I was in elementary school, but it's an art that sort of died out as I went through school. Coming into University, I never used spreadsheets at all.
It's weird how useful a tool it us, but that it isn't really used at all. It could be because I was more of a social studies major, but it seemed that spreadsheets disappeared as a useful tool regardless.
Using them in class today brought back a lot of those memories. It used to be a bit more difficult to make a graph when I was a kid! What a useful tool for a classroom, although it would still take some coaching for younger students. This would be a great way of visually representing some data and having students understand graphs.
Something I'll have to keep in mind!
